Hi all

I thought I posted this the other day but it appears I did not.

I would like to create a website that uses a database to store content.

It will be a directory of business.

I have not done this before and would like a tutorial to show me how.

I am not sure what technology to use, free would be best.

Thanks

Joe

Joe if you're looking for free I'd guess PHP/MySQL is the way to go. Chris is right that any database technology will be fine, but I have a hunch PHP/MySQL is where you're going to end up.

I don't know of any specific tutorials online, but I'm sure there are plenty and I'm sure even a minimal amount of searching will find them.

I'd sooner recommend a book of this is new to you. There are a lot good ones too. Just look for one that talks about both PHP and MySQL (or whichever scripting/database you choose) so you'll get intro tutorials on both. Most books will end with an example building a database driven site.

Thanks.

I will have a look for a few tutorials online and maybe a book if I can see one cheap.

I'm not sure what my server takes but will try php/mysql.
